Chapter 300 School

The two exchanged greetings, and Luther sat down. At the same time, Luther asked the staff to get him a cup of black tea, which he drank happily.

He basically ate meat on the Treasure Planet, which was lacking in vitamins.

While drinking black tea, Luther asked Lelouch about the work of agricultural promotion, and nodded as he listened.

Good, the promotion is very fast.

This year, we planted crops in the spring, and after the autumn harvest, the grain will pile up like a mountain.

"Since agricultural promotion has been completed, let's talk about another thing." Luther put down the black tea and said seriously.

"What is it?" Lelouch couldn't help but become serious.

"I plan to establish primary schools, senior schools, and knight schools in all aspects." Luther said, this is an idea he has had for a long time.

Ordinary schools improve the literacy rate of the people in the territory.

The knight school increases the number of knights in the territory.

The Pompeii family will obtain a steady stream of knights from the knight school, the cradle of knights.

"It's definitely not an ordinary school building plan." Lelouch looked at Luther's serious expression and suddenly felt a headache.

Before this, Luther had asked him to do something.

Pompeii is now very large, with a permanent population of about 100,000. Such a large city is divided into many communities.

In each community, Luther asked him to leave a piece of vacant land to build a school.

When he said he wanted to send civilians to school, Lelouch thought Luther was crazy, and now he felt trouble was coming.

"You still understand me." Luther said with a smile.

"I'm not praising you." Lelouch rolled his eyes, and his two big beards jumped up in anger.

"I decided to build the school land that was left behind at one time, and build several low-level schools in the rural areas outside the city according to the location. Not only Pompeii, but also the entire White Eagle Territory will have schools at one time. The school will not only recruit nobles and the middle class, but also students from farmers and workers. As for how many primary schools, senior schools, and knight schools are needed in the territory, let's discuss it."

Luther's opening was indeed very bold.

However, Lelouch's eyes were even whiter, and he said unhappily: "I have never understood why you care so much about the common people's studies?"

"Because the future belongs to the common people." Luther said.

"It's alarmist, the common people are obviously so stupid." Lelouch disagreed.

But Luther just looked at Lelouch, as if his eyes could speak, "I must do this thing."

"Okay, okay." Lelouch couldn't stand Luther's eyes and waved his hand. Then he thought about it and said, "But it is very difficult for you to recruit civilian students. First of all, civilians don't have the money to send their children to school, and ordinary civilians don't think that studying is useful. As for the Knight School, I don't need to tell you how much money it takes to train a knight. Civilians can't afford the cost at all."

"But there is good news now, because there are too many nobles pouring into Pompeii, among them there are scholars, artists, knights, and some people need decent jobs, so there is no need to worry about teachers."

After saying the bad news, Lelouch gave a savoring smile.

"This is not a problem at all. The money will be paid by my Pompeii family, but there is a condition. After they graduate, they will have priority to enter the Pompeii family's factory. If they are knights, they will have priority to join the Pompeii family's army."

"As for the fact that the common people think that reading is useless, that's even simpler. Propaganda."

"For example, the farmer's two children, one James and one Howard, James did not read, so he could only farm, Howard read, so he became an official in the city hall and lived a decent life. Use this kind of story, make it more exciting, so that the people know the difference between literacy and illiteracy."

Luther said.

Lulu was holding up the teacup to drink tea, and almost spit out a mouthful of old tea. He quickly swallowed the black tea, put down the teacup, and said: "You are crazy, do you know how much gold coins it will cost?"

"I have money, I have the ability to promote educational reforms in the entire territory, so that everyone has the opportunity to receive education and become a knight. If there were not so few wizards in the White Eagle Territory now, I would also plan to establish a wizard school."

Luther raised his head, with a few words written on his face.

I am a rich man.

Luther is definitely a very rich man. Before the war, he earned a sum of money from Pompeii wine, another sum from selling real estate, plus the gold coins he had hoarded before.

The current amount of gold coins in the Pompeii family exceeds one million.

Of course, these gold coins are not enough to promote Luther's plan, but it doesn't matter, because Luther still has an elemental planet.

There is plenty of money to promote the education of a generation in the territory.

Luther calculated this account very clearly. If the money is kept in the warehouse, it is equivalent to letting it mold. Money can be used to make money, and doing business is a good choice.

And investing in education will also be a good choice.

Improve the literacy rate of the whole society, and many talents will emerge among the civilians, which can promote the industrialization process of the whole territory.

If the White Eagle Territory prospers to become the most prosperous territory in the world, how much tax will it be?

How many opportunities will the Pompeii family have to make money?

Not to mention the knights.

Now the Pompeii family invests gold coins to train knights. When the knights grow up, they can feed back to the Pompeii family to defend the territory, not to mention that there is an elemental planet that needs a large number of knights to open up.

It is a sure win.

More importantly, the investment only takes one generation. For example, Xiao Ming is an eight-year-old child who received free education from the Pompeii family. After he becomes a knight, he works hard to make a lot of money, then gets married, and then has children. His children don't need free education.

Because he can fully afford the cost of his children's education.

The level of the current Kingdom of Prussia is equivalent to that of the Middle Ages in Europe, or even worse. Luther's idea is to use one generation to improve the literacy rate in the entire territory, and the second generation will complete the evolution.

Enter the modern state model.

That is to build the White Eagle Territory into a country that has both extraordinary power and a modern level.

Trains, cars, power grids, computers.

This seems a bit far-fetched, but Luther is very confident in himself, because he is the lord, and what he says is a decree.

Luther's willpower can run through the entire territory.

Such efficiency can definitely promote this plan.

Secondly, Luther is rich.

Local tyrants.

And this idea of ​​Luther has been around for a long time. Only people living in this world will miss everything in their previous lives.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Pick up the phone and lower your head to check WeChat.

Can this be done in this world?

We have to play.
